Betsy loved this hike WAY up in the mountains. There is laurel and rhododendron everywhere!
Rufus Morgan Falls is divided into two distinct sections.
A little bridge crossed over the lower part of the falls.
This is the upper falls. What a beautiful setting!
There was alot of water coming over these falls.
George got fairly close to the falls.
Betsy took this picture of her Honey at the falls.
Now Betsy is holding up the rock!!!! SURE!!!! ha
We like this picture since it shows the ‘splashes’ at the top!!!
The entire falls from a distance
As we hiked back down the mountain, we could see Mrs. P in the distance!
Mrs. P is waiting on us. She wonders why we take her on these gravel and dirt roads!!!!
This was one of the neatest waterfalls --in a remote, mountainous area near Franklin, NC. We visited here (about a mile hike) on November 10, 2006. The falls are named after an Episcopal priest, Albert Rufus Morgan. He was quite a hiker--and hiked to Mount Le Conte in the Smokies 172 times. He lived to be 97 years old--and died in 1983.
